How to Style Boots for Autumn

Long boots are a tried-and-tested way to inject sophistication into your look. The perfect solution to the changeable autumn weather, a pair of knee-high boots help keep legs warm and dry during the drizzly months.

Create a long, flowing silhouette by pairing with a floaty midi dress where the hem gently skims the top of the boots. This leopard print dress is just the ticket, combining warm, earthy colours with bold pattern.

If you're on the shorter side and worried about knee-high boots looking too overwhelming, try adding definition by adding strong lines. Team with a pair of shorts or a mini skirt with tights underneath to help break up the look.

Look out for boots made with our Insolia technology, designed to keep your feet super comfy even as you pound the puddle-strewn pavements.

The most hardworking addition to your footwear wardrobe, a pair of simple ankle boots will go with almost anything. They offer a touch of effortless style best suited for casual outfits and everyday essentials like workwear.

Pair with dresses that hit just above the knee, like a timeless shirt dress, to create space between the boots and the hemline. Or wear under a pair of jeans for an elevated alternative to trainers – wide-leg, flared jeans and bootcut jeans fits work best.

Choose between black and burgundy for this season's most-wanted options, plus luxe suede, nubuck and leather finishes to add texture to everyday outfits.

Drizzly weather calls for durable, hard-wearing footwear. When winter kicks in, a pair of riding boots will be your best friend, grounding your outfits in practicality while also keeping your toes warm (it’s not just about looking chic, after all).

Details such as buckles, equestrian hardware and cleated soles contrast beautifully with feminine pieces like this playful mini shift dress. Just add a pair of thermal socks or tights when the mercury drops.

Classically preppy, they also complement sporty looks. Tuck a pair of skinny jeans or leggings into the boots and team with an oversized collared shirt or rugby top.

Say howdy to one of this winter’s biggest footwear trends: the cowboy boot. Forget any associations with fancy dress or festivals, Western-inspired styles are surprisingly versatile and add a playful twist to the most failsafe outfits. Look for squared-off toes, Cuban heels, stitch detailing and embroidery to nod to the trend.

Toughen up a floaty midi dress with a pair of cowboy boots, or add some edge to a mini dress. They also work well with jeans, or choose corduroy flares for a contemporary take on a seventies look.

For an elevated take, pair with dressy high-waisted shorts, an ultra-soft turtleneck jumper and luxe gold jewellery.
